Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät mit wenigstens einem Kältemittelkreislauf, der wenigstens einen Verflüssiger umfasst und mit wenigstens einem Tauwasserbehältnis zur Aufnahme von Tauwasser.The present invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with at least one refrigerant circuit comprising at least one condenser and with at least one condensation water container for receiving condensate.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Kühl- bzw. Gefriergeräte bekannt, die ein sogenanntes Sockelaggregat aufweisen, in dem der Verflüssiger des Kältemittelkreislaufes sowie ein Ventilator angeordnet sind. Weitere Bestandteile des Sockelaggregates sind der Kompressor des Kältemittelkreislaufes sowie ein Behältnis zur Aufnahme von Tauwasser, das beim Abtauen des Verdampfers anfällt.Cooling or freezing devices are known from the prior art, which have a so-called base unit, in which the condenser of the refrigerant circuit and a fan are arranged. Other components of the base unit are the compressor of the refrigerant circuit and a container for receiving condensation, which accumulates during defrosting of the evaporator.
Dabei ist es bekannt, die Tauwasserschale auf dem Kompressor anzuordnen. Dies bringt den Vorteil mit sich, dass die Kompressorwärme die Verdunstung von Tauwasser fördert. Ein Nachteil besteht darin, dass das Volumen der Kompressornische entsprechend vergrößert werden muss, und der Nutzinhalt entsprechend verringert wird. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist die relativ geringe Wasseroberfläche, die zur Verdunstung zur Verfügung steht.It is known to arrange the condensate tank on the compressor. This has the advantage that the compressor heat promotes the evaporation of condensate. A disadvantage is that the volume of the compressor table must be increased accordingly, and the useful content is reduced accordingly. Another disadvantage is the relatively low water surface available for evaporation.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es des Weiteren bekannt, die Tauwasserschale unterhalb des Verflüssigers anzuordnen, wobei der Verflüssiger in das Tauwasser eingetaucht wird. Auch hierbei ergibt sich der Nachteil, dass eine relativ geringe Wasseroberfläche zur Verfügung steht. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, dass das Verflüssigerrohr aufgrund seines Kontakts mit Wasser vor Korrosion geschützt werden muss.It is further known from the prior art to arrange the condensation water tray below the liquefier, wherein the liquefier is immersed in the condensation water. Again, there is the disadvantage that a relatively small water surface is available. Another disadvantage is that the condenser tube must be protected from corrosion due to its contact with water.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es des Weiteren bekannt, die Tauwasserschale unterhalb des Verflüssigers anzuordnen und den Verflüssiger nicht in das Tauwasser einzutauchen. Auch dabei ergibt sich der Nachteil einer relativ geringen Wasseroberfläche.From the prior art, it is also known to arrange the condensate tank below the condenser and not immerse the condenser in the condensation. Also, this results in the disadvantage of a relatively small water surface.
Des Weiteren ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, an der Geräterückwand durch eine starke Isolation und/oder einer Heizung die Kondensation von Wasser zu verhindern, was eine vergleichsweise aufwändige Lösung zur Vermeidung der Kondensation darstellt.Furthermore, it is known from the prior art, on the back of the device by a strong insulation and / or heating to prevent the condensation of water, which is a relatively expensive solution to avoid condensation.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, das eine effiziente Tauwasserverdunstung ermöglicht wird.The present invention is based on the object to further develop a refrigerator and / or freezer of the type mentioned above, the efficient condensation water evaporation is made possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das Tauwasserbehältnis relativ zu dem Verflüssiger derart angeordnet ist, dass Wärme von dem Verflüssiger an das Tauwasser übergeht und dass der Ventilator derart ausgebildet ist, dass er die mit dem Tauwasser beladene Luft auf der Rückseite des Gerätes abführt. Vorzugsweise erfolgt eine Durchströmung des Gerätes bzw. des Gerätesockels derart, dass das Tauwasserbehältnis und oder Verflüssiger auf der Saugseite des Ventilators angeordnet ist und die mit Feuchtigkeit beladene Luft auf der Druckseite des Ventilators an der Rückseite des Gerätes abgeführt wird.This object is achieved in that the condensation water is arranged relative to the condenser such that heat from the condenser passes to the condensation and that the fan is designed such that it discharges the laden with the condensation air on the back of the device. Preferably, a flow through the device or the device base takes place such that the condensation water container and / or condenser is arranged on the suction side of the fan and the moisture-laden air is discharged on the pressure side of the fan at the back of the device.
Der Ventilator des Gerätes ist derart ausgebildet. dass er im Betrieb eine Luftbewegung über das Tauwasserbehältnis erzeugt und die mit Feuchtigkeit beladene Luft durch eine oder mehrere Öffnungen in der Rückwand des Gerätes oder durch einen oder mehrere Kanäle im Bereich der Rückwand des Gerätes abführt bzw. auf die Geräteaußenseite ableitet.The fan of the device is designed in this way. that in operation it generates an air movement over the condensation water container and the air laden with moisture through one or more openings in the rear wall of the device or through one or more channels in the region of the rear wall of the device dissipates or dissipates on the outside of the device.
In alternativer oder zusätzlicher Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Verflüssiger flächig ausgestaltet ist und sich beispielsweise oberhalb und/oder unterhalb des Tauwasserbehältnisses erstreckt. Auf diese Weise wird ein besonders guter Wärmeübergang von dem Verflüssiger auf das Wasser erreicht, das sich in dem Tauwasserbehältnis befindet. Der Verflüssiger kann somit beispielsweise aus einem oder mehreren mäanderförmig oder anderweitig gebogenen Rohren bestehen und sich in einer Ebene oder auch in mehreren Ebenen erstrecken, die vorzugsweise parallel zu der Oberfläche des in dem Tauwasserbehältnis befindlichen Wassers angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise wird eine besonders effiziente Verdunstung von Tauwasser erreicht, da die Wärme abgebende Fläche relativ zur Oberfläche des Wassers in dem Tauwasserbehältnis groß ist.In an alternative or additional embodiment of the invention it is provided that the condenser is designed flat and extends, for example, above and / or below the condensate container. In this way, a particularly good heat transfer is achieved by the condenser to the water, which is located in the condensation water tank. The condenser may thus for example consist of one or more meander-shaped or otherwise bent tubes and extend in a plane or in several planes, which are preferably arranged parallel to the surface of the water located in the condensation water container. In this way, a particularly efficient evaporation of condensation water is achieved because the heat-emitting surface is large relative to the surface of the water in the condensation water container.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft des Weiteren ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät mit wenigstens einer Einrichtung zur Verdunstung von Tauwasser, wobei die Einrichtung zur Verdunstung von Tauwasser mehrere Behältnisse aufweist, die derart zueinander angeordnet sind, dass das Tauwasser kaskadenartig von einem Behältnis zum nächsten Behältnis fließt oder dass die Einrichtung zur Verdunstung von Tauwasser ein oder mehrere flächige, vorzugsweise plattenartige Elemente aufweist, die derart angeordnet sind, dass sie von dem Tauwasser zum Zwecke der Verdunstung überströmt werden.The present invention further relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with at least one device for the evaporation of condensed water, the means for the evaporation of condensed water having a plurality of containers which are arranged to each other, that the condensate flows cascade from one container to the next container or that the device for the evaporation of condensed water has one or more flat, preferably plate-like elements, which are arranged such that they are overflowed by the condensate for the purpose of evaporation.
Denkbar ist es beispielsweise, dass die Einrichtung zur Verdunstung von Tauwasser aus einer Mehrzahl von Behältnissen, insbesondere Becken besteht, die kaskadenartig nacheinander durchströmt werden. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, die Becken mit einem Überlauf auszugestalten, so dass bei einem bestimmten Füllstand in einem der Becken automatisch einen Überlauf zu dem nachfolgenden Becken erfolgt. Die Becken können direkt untereinander oder auch schräg, das heißt versetzt zueinander untereinander angeordnet sein.It is conceivable, for example, that the device for the evaporation of condensate consists of a plurality of containers, in particular basins, which are flowed through in succession in cascade. So it is conceivable, for example, to design the basin with an overflow, so that automatically takes place at a certain level in one of the basins an overflow to the subsequent basin. The basins can be directly with each other or at an angle, that is offset from one another to each other.
Auch ist es möglich, wenigstens eine Einrichtung zur Verdunstung von Tauwasser vorzusehen, bei der das Tauwasser ein oder mehrere flächige Elemente, wie beispielsweise Platten, vorzugsweise wellenförmige Platten überströmt. Durch die relativ große Oberfläche der Platten wird eine gute Verdunstungsleistung erzielt. Dabei ist es vorzugsweise denkbar, dass diese Platten durch den Verflüssiger beheizt werden.It is also possible to provide at least one device for the evaporation of condensate, in which the condensate overflows one or more planar elements, such as plates, preferably wave-shaped plates. Due to the relatively large surface of the plates a good evaporation performance is achieved. It is preferably conceivable that these plates are heated by the condenser.
Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Gerät wenigstens einen Kältmittelkreislauf aufweist, der wenigstens einen Verflüssiger umfaßt und dass sich die Einrichtung zur Verdunstung von Tauwasser teilweise oder vollständig oberhalb des Verflüssigers befindet. Auch eine andere Anordnung relativ zu Verflüssiger ist denkbar und von der Erfindung mit umfasst, wie beispielsweise die Anordnung unterhalb des Verflüssigers oder auch neben dem Verflüssiger bzw. in Strömungsrichtung der Luft vor und/oder nach dem Verflüssiger.Furthermore, it can be provided that the device has at least one refrigerant circuit which comprises at least one condenser and that the means for the evaporation of condensate is partially or completely above the condenser. Another arrangement relative to condenser is conceivable and encompassed by the invention, such as the arrangement below the condenser or also next to the condenser or in the flow direction of the air before and / or after the condenser.
Das Tauwasserbehältnis bzw. die Einrichtung zur Verdunstung von Tauwasser kann sich grundsätzlich innerhalb, oberhalb, unterhalb oder stromaufwärts und/oder stromabwärts von dem Verflüssiger befinden.The condensate tank or the device for the evaporation of condensed water can in principle be located within, above, below or upstream and / or downstream of the condenser.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn vorzugsweise über dem Tauwasserbehältnis wenigstens eine Wärme bzw. Wärmestrahlung reflektierende Oberfläche vorgesehen ist, die relativ zu dem Verflüssiger und relativ zu dem Tauwasserbehältnis bzw. relativ zu der Einrichtung zur Verdunstung von Tauwasser derart angeordnet ist, dass durch diese Oberfläche Abwärme, insbesondere Wärmestrahlung des Verflüssigers in den Bereich des Tauwasserbehältnisses bzw. in den Bereich der Einrichtung zur Verdunstung von Tauwasser geleitet wird. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, wenigstens eine die Wärmestrahlung reflektierende Oberfläche anzubringen, wie zum Beispiel eine Alufolie. So ist es möglich, durch ein solches Mittel insbesondere die Wärmestrahlung vom Verflüssiger in das Tauwasser zu lenken und dadurch ggf. zusätzlich die Geräteunterseite zu kühlen. Die die Wärmestrahlung reflektierende Oberfläche kann sich oberhalb des Verflüssigers befinden, beispielsweise an der Decke des Gerätesockels.It is particularly advantageous if at least one heat or heat radiation reflecting surface is provided above the condensation water container, which is arranged relative to the condenser and relative to the condensation container or relative to the device for the evaporation of condensed water in such a way that waste heat flows through this surface , In particular heat radiation of the condenser is passed into the area of the condensation water or in the region of the device for the evaporation of condensate. For example, it is conceivable to attach at least one surface which reflects the thermal radiation, for example an aluminum foil. It is thus possible, in particular, to direct the heat radiation from the condenser into the condensation water by means of such an agent, thereby possibly additionally cooling the underside of the device. The heat radiation reflecting The surface may be above the condenser, for example on the ceiling of the unit base.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Verdunstungsschale bzw. das Tauwasserbehältnis ein oder mehrere Elemente zur Luftführung aufweist, die derart ausgebildet sind, dass sie für eine Verbesserung der Verdunstung und/oder eine Abfuhr von Wärme am Verflüssiger sorgen bzw. diese verbessern.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the evaporation tray or the condensation container has one or more elements for air guidance, which are designed such that they improve the evaporation and / or dissipate heat at the condenser or improve it.
Das Tauwasserbehältnis kann als Spritzgussteil bzw. als Kunststoffteil ausgeführt sein. Das Tauwasserbehältnis kann Luftführungselemente aufweisen, die für eine bessere Verdunstung und/oder Abfuhr von Wärme am Verflüssiger sorgen. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann das Tauwasserbehältnis ein oder mehrere Elemente aufweisen, die den Verflüssiger und/oder andere Elemente des Sockelaggregates bzw. des Gerätes aufnehmen können. Diese Elemente können somit zur Stabilisierung, zur Schalldämmung etc. dienen.The condensation water container can be designed as an injection molded part or as a plastic part. The condensate container may have air guide elements which provide for better evaporation and / or removal of heat at the condenser. Alternatively or additionally, the condensation water container may have one or more elements that can accommodate the condenser and / or other elements of the base unit or the device. These elements can thus serve for stabilization, for sound insulation etc.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Tauwasserbehältnis wärmespeicherndes Material aufweist bzw. ein solches Material in dem Tauwasserbehältnis angeordnet ist. So ist es zum Beispiel denkbar, dass die Verdunstungsschale bzw. das Tauwasserbehältnis wärmespeicherndes Material in Form von Latentwärmespeichermaterial oder auch in Form eines anderen, d.h. nicht Latentwärmespeichermaterials aufweist.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the condensate container has heat-storing material or such a material is arranged in the condensate container. Thus, it is conceivable, for example, that the evaporation tray or the condensation container heat-storing material in the form of latent heat storage material or in the form of another, i. does not have latent heat storage material.
Die Verdunstungsschale bzw. Tauwasserbehältnis können zum Beispiel eine oder mehrere Kammern mit einem solchen Wärmespeichermaterial aufweisen.The evaporation tray or condensation container can, for example, have one or more chambers with such a heat storage material.
Auch ist es denkbar, dass das Material des Tauwasserbehältnisses eine hohe Wärmekapazität (latent oder nicht latent) aufweist. Das Tauwasserbehältnis kann somit ein solches Material enthalten oder zumindest teilweise aus diesem bestehen.It is also conceivable that the material of the condensation water container has a high heat capacity (latent or non-latent). The condensation container can thus contain such material or at least partially consist of this.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Tauwasserbehältnis aus Kunststoff oder aus Blech und/oder aus einem Schall dämmenden Material besteht.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the condensation water container made of plastic or sheet metal and / or consists of a sound-insulating material.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist wenigstens eine Tauwasserleitung vorhanden, die derart angeordnet ist, dass diese das Tauwasser vorzugsweise aus dem gekühlten Innenraum des Gerätes bzw. vom Verdampfer in das Tauwasserbehältnis bzw. zu der Einrichtung zur Verdunstung des Tauwassers leitet, wobei die Tauwasserleitung Öffnungen in ihrer Wandung aufweist, durch die Tauwasser hindurchtreten kann. Denkbar ist es somit beispielsweise, dass der Schlauch zur Tauwasserabführung ein so genannter Schwitzschlauch ist, der gezielt undicht ist und so eine gewisse Vorverdunstung des Tauwassers ermöglicht.In a further embodiment of the invention, at least one condensation pipe is present, which is arranged such that it preferably directs the condensate from the cooled interior of the device or from the evaporator in the condensate tank or to the device for the evaporation of condensate, the condensate line openings in has its wall through which condensation can pass. It is thus conceivable, for example, that the hose for the condensation water discharge is a so-called sweat hose, which is targeted leaking and thus allows a certain pre-evaporation of the condensation water.
Auch ist es denkbar, dass Vorverdunstungsbehältnisse, wie zum Beispiel Vorverdunstungsschalen vorgesehen sind, in die das Tauwasser zunächst eintritt. Von dort aus strömt das Tauwasser in andere Behältnisse oder direkt in die Hauptverdunstungsschale. Solche Vorverdunstungsbehältnisse können beispielsweise an der Nischendecke bzw. Nischenabdeckung der Kompressornische, unter dem Kompressor, an den Luftleitelementen im Sockel oder dergleichen angeordnet werden.It is also conceivable that preliminary evaporation containers, such as, for example, pre-evaporation dishes, into which the condensation first enters, are provided. From there, the condensate flows into other containers or directly into the main evaporation tray. Such pre-evaporation containers can be arranged, for example, on the niche cover or niche cover of the compressor table, under the compressor, on the air guide elements in the base or the like.
Auch ist es denkbar, dass der Tauwassertransport zum Tauwasserbehältnis über einen oder mehrere Kunststoffschläuche und/oder über einen oder mehrere angespritzte Kanäle erfolgt, in denen bereits eine Verdunstung von Tauwasser erfolgt, bevor dieses das Tauwasserbehältnis erreicht.It is also conceivable that the condensation water transport to the condensation water container via one or more plastic hoses and / or via one or more sprayed channels, in which already an evaporation of condensation occurs before it reaches the condensation water container.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu den oben genannten Merkmalen kann das Gerät derart ausgebildet sein, dass wenigstens ein Mittel vorgesehen ist, das derart angeordnet und ausgebildet ist, dass durch dieses Mittel die Temperatur an der Geräterückseite oberhalb des Taupunktes gehalten wird. Auch ist es denkbar, dass Luftführungselemente zur Überströmung der Rückseite mit Luft und/oder zur Erzeugung einer Verwirbelung der an der Rückseite entlang strömenden Luft vorhanden sind. Durch diese Mittel wird verhindert, dass es zu einer Kondensation von Tauwasser aus der Luft kommt, die an der Rückseite des Gerätes vorzugsweise nach oben hin aus dem Sockel des Gerätes abgeführt wird.As an alternative or in addition to the above-mentioned features, the device may be designed such that at least one means is provided which is arranged and designed such that the temperature at the rear of the device is held above the dew point by this means. It is also conceivable that air guide elements for overflowing the rear side with air and / or for generating a turbulence of the air flowing along the rear air present are. By this means it is prevented that it comes to a condensation of condensation water from the air, which is preferably discharged at the rear of the device upwards out of the base of the device.
Vorzugsweise ist somit die Rückwand des Gerätes teilweise oder vollständig mit einer Oberfläche mit einem hohem Emissionsgrad ausgeführt bzw. mit einem höherem Emissionsgrad als herkömmliche Geräte. Dies führt dazu, dass dieses Mittel bzw. die Oberfläche Wärme aus der Umgebung aufnimmt und so die Oberflächentemperatur bzw. die Temperatur in den zur Oberfläche benachbarten Bereichen über dem Taupunkt hält.Preferably, therefore, the back wall of the device is partially or completely executed with a surface with a high emissivity or with a higher emissivity than conventional devices. As a result, this agent or the surface absorbs heat from the environment and thus keeps the surface temperature or the temperature in the regions adjacent to the surface above the dew point.
Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass das Gerät an seiner Rückseite keinen Veflüssiger aufweist, sondern dass dieser im Gerätesockel angeordnet ist.Preferably, it is provided that the device does not have a liquid at its rear side, but that it is arranged in the device base.
Auch ist es möglich, an der Rückwand des Gerätes einen oder mehrere Luftkanäle anzuordnen, und zwar derart, dass durch diese die Luft über kritische Stellen geführt wird, an der die Gefahr der Kondensation besteht. Alternativ oder zusätzlich dazu kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Rückwand des Gerätes mit einer oder mehreren Leitelementen versehen ist, die für eine gezielte Verwirbelung der Luft an kritischen Stellen sorgen, das heißt an den Stellen, an denen eine Kondensation ansonsten wahrscheinlich ist.It is also possible to arrange on the rear wall of the device one or more air ducts, in such a way that through them the air is passed over critical points at which the risk of condensation exists. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the rear wall of the device is provided with one or more guide elements, which provide for a targeted turbulence of the air at critical locations, that is, at the points where condensation is otherwise likely.
Die Seitenwände des Gerätes sind vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass möglichst wenig Umgebungsluft an die Rückwand kommt, sondern hauptsächlich die warme Luft aus dem Sockel an der Rückwand vorbeistreicht.The side walls of the device are preferably designed so that as little ambient air as possible comes to the rear wall, but mainly the warm air from the base past the back wall.
In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass es sich bei dem Gerät um ein Standgerät handelt. Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Sockel in seiner Frontseite eine oder mehrere Öffnungen aufweist, durch die die Luft in den Sockel eintritt bzw. durch den Ventilator eingesogen wird.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the device is a stand-alone device. It is preferably provided that the base has in its front side one or more openings through which the air enters the base or is sucked in by the fan.
In dem Sockelraum des Gerätes, der sich unterhalb des gekühlten Nutzraums des Gerätes befindet, können das Tauwasserbehältnis, der Verflüssiger, der Kompressor und der Ventilator oder nur einige der vorgenannten Komponenten angeordnet sein. Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass in Strömungsrichtung der Luft zunächst der Verflüssiger und das Tauwasserbehältnis und dann der Ventilator und gegebenenfalls der Kompressor angeordnet sind, so dass der Ventilator die Luft über das Tauwasserbehältnis und den Verflüssiger saugt und dann im Bereich der Rückwand des Gerätes abgibt, vorzugsweise nachdem die Luft den Kompressor umströmt hat.In the base space of the device, which is located below the cooled working space of the device, the condensation water container, the condenser, the compressor and the fan or only some of the aforementioned components may be arranged. Preferably, it is provided that in the flow direction of the air first the condenser and the condensation container and then the fan and optionally the compressor are arranged so that the fan sucks the air through the condensation water and the condenser and then emits in the region of the rear wall of the device, preferably after the air has flowed around the compressor.
Die oben genannten Mittel zur Vermeidung der Kondensation müssen nicht zwingend am Gerät selbst angeordnet sein. Von der Erfindung ist auch der Fall umfasst, dass eine Möbelwand oder eine Gebäudewand, relativ zu der das Gerät benachbart angeordnet ist, mit einem oder mehreren solcher Mittel ausgeführt ist. Dies bezieht sich nicht nur auf die Mittel zur Erhöhung der Temperatur, sondern auch auf die anderen genannten Mittel, durch die einer Kondensation im Bereich der Geräterückseite, der Möbelwand oder der Gebäudewand oder einem dazwischen befindlichen Raum verhindert wird.The above means for preventing condensation need not necessarily be arranged on the device itself. The invention also includes the case that a furniture wall or a building wall, relative to which the device is arranged adjacent, is designed with one or more such means. This refers not only to the means for increasing the temperature, but also to the other means mentioned, by which a condensation in the area of the rear of the device, the furniture wall or the building wall or a space in between is prevented.
Dementsprechend umfasst die vorliegende Erfindung des weiteren ein System umfassend wenigstens ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 9 sowie wenigstens eine Wand, insbesondere wenigstens eine Möbel- oder Gebäudewand, zu der das Gerät mit seiner Rückseite hingewandt benachbart ist, wobei sich an der genannten Wand und/oder an der Rückwand des Gerätes oder in dem dazwischen befindlichen Raum Mittel befinden, die derart angeordnet und ausgebildet sind, dass durch diese Mittel die Temperatur an der Geräterückseite und/oder an der genannten Wand und/oder in dem dazwischen befindlichen Raum oberhalb des Taupunktes gehalten wird.Accordingly, the present invention further comprises a system comprising at least one refrigerator and / or freezer according to any one of claims 1 to 9 and at least one wall, in particular at least one furniture or building wall, to which the device is adjacent with its back facing, wherein are on the said wall and / or on the rear wall of the device or in the space therebetween means which are arranged and designed such that by this means the temperature at the rear of the device and / or on said wall and / or in the space between them is kept above the dew point.
An der Geräterückseite, an der zum Gerät gewandten Seite der genannten Wand und/oder dazwischen können sich Luftführungsmittel und/oder Luftleitelemente zur Erzeugung einer Verwirbelung der Luft befinden.On the rear side of the device, on the side of the said wall facing the device and / or in between, there may be air guiding means and / or air guiding elements for generating a turbulence of the air.

Wie dies aus
Durch den auf diese Weise erzeugten warmen Luftstrom, der die Rückseite des Gerätes überströmt, ist es denkbar, an üblicherweise zur Kondensation neigenden Stellen der Geräterückseite eine Kondensation von Tauwasser zu vermeiden und die feuchtigkeitsbeladene Luft abzuführen.As a result of the warm air flow generated in this way, which flows over the rear side of the device, it is conceivable to prevent condensation of condensed water at sites of the device rear usually tending to condense and to remove the moisture-laden air.
Mit dem Bezugszeichen 80 in
Das Material der Tauwasserbehältnisses kann beispielsweise schalldämmend sein. Es kann aus Kunststoff oder Metall, vorzugsweise Blech ausgebildet sein. Es kann Kammern aufweisen, die zum Beispiel mit Wasser oder ähnlichen Wärmespeicher gefüllt werden können. Auch ist es denkbar, dass das Kunststoffbehältnis selbst bzw. das Tauwasserbehältnis selbst aus einem wärmespeicherden Material (latent oder nicht latent) bzw. aus einem Material mit hoher Wärmekapazität besteht oder dieses aufweist.The material of the condensation container can be sound-insulating, for example. It can be made of plastic or metal, preferably sheet metal. It may have chambers that can be filled, for example, with water or similar heat storage. It is also conceivable that the plastic container itself or the condensation water container itself consists of a heat-storing material (latent or non-latent) or of a material with high heat capacity or has this.
Weiterhin ist es denkbar, dass Elemente zu Luftverteilung und/oder zur Erzeugung von Turbulenzen vorgesehen sind, die die Aufgabe haben, die Luft über dem Verflüssiger und/oder über dem Tauwasserbehältnis so zu führen, dass sich eine verbesserte Wärmeabfuhr vom Verflüssiger einerseits und andererseits eine verbesserte Wärmeübertragung vom Verflüssiger an das Tauwasser vergibt.Furthermore, it is conceivable that elements are provided for air distribution and / or for generating turbulence, which have the task to guide the air above the condenser and / or above the condensate tank so that an improved Heat removal from the condenser on the one hand and on the other hand gives an improved heat transfer from the condenser to the condensation.
Um eine Kondensation im Bereich der Rückwand des Gerätes zu vermeiden, ist es denkbar, die Oberfläche des Gerätes oder einer angrenzenden Wand aus einem Material mit einem hohen Emissionsgrad herzustellen, um Wärme aus der Umgebung aufzunehmen. Diese Wärme kann sodann an die Luft abgegeben werden, so dass diese stets eine Temperatur oberhalb ihres Taupunktes aufweist. Auch ist es denkbar, Luftführungskanäle vorzusehen, die so angeordnet sind, dass die warme Luft aus dem Gerätesockel gezielt über Bereiche an der Geräterückseite geführt wird, die zur Kondensation neigen. Auch ist es möglich, Abstandshalter bzw. Luftströmungselemente zur kontrollierten Erzeugung von Turbulenzen einzusetzen. Auch auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Bildung von Kondensat im Bereich der Geräterückseite zu verhindern oder die Wahrscheinlichkeit für das Auftreten von Kondensat zu verringern.In order to avoid condensation in the area of the rear wall of the device, it is conceivable to make the surface of the device or an adjacent wall of a material with a high emissivity to absorb heat from the environment. This heat can then be released into the air so that it always has a temperature above its dew point. It is also conceivable to provide air ducts, which are arranged so that the warm air is led out of the device base targeted areas on the back of the device, which tend to condensation. It is also possible to use spacers or air flow elements for the controlled generation of turbulence. Also in this way it is possible to prevent the formation of condensate in the area of the rear of the device or to reduce the probability of the occurrence of condensate.
